Siren’s Kiss Episode 5 Review

Can we talk about the kiss? Excuse me? Wi Ha-jun proved that he is one of the best kissers out there. The lead roles’ chemistry is insanely good. The storyline is heating up given we now know Jun-beom might be the villain but even bigger than him, Seol-ah might be the game changer.

With so many secrets piling up, all we know for sure is something about the insurance scam is the key to all the answers. Hopefully Seol-ah is a good person because I’ve already started shipping Woo-seok and Seol-ah. Any heartbreak will not be tolerated, thank you. Regardless, the series is doing a brilliant job in conveying thriller with a twist.
